Cool old house with all the amenities. Close to Ithaca

My husband and I were searching for a place in the Ithaca area that was within close proximity to hiking trails and wineries that also allowed dogs. Rogues Harbor Inn was just that place! The decor was a perfect mix of old time charm with a modern twist. Our room was bright and clean with all of the amenities one would receive at a hotel (cable, ac unit, WiFi, fresh towels and soaps). Eileen and her staff were incredibly friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again or recommend to anyone we know.

It was pleasant and clean with friendly service.

We arrived to area from out of town, having received no information prior to arrival with any check-in directions. When we arrived at 3:00 pm, the place was locked up, no cars in the lot, no sign anywhere with directions. The front of the property was somewhat overgrown and really did not look like the pictures in VRBO. We had no internet access so were unable to research further on VRBO. We left a phone message that was returned later in the afternoon... by that time and in good faith we chose to move on. When we finally did have internet connection and were able to reach the owner and VRBO, both parties were unwilling to work with us and we are currently in dispute process to get our deposit refunded. We have since learned that property had been closed for 2-3 years and had just opened again, which might explain the lack of communication and signage for customers. However we are disappointed that there has been no effort to work with us in this situation. Have used VRBO many times, have never had such an unprofessional experience.

Most bed and breakfasts have one bed or room. This property includes an extra bed (not pull-out couch or cot) in 4 out of 9 rooms, making it a good option for families. The property is not fancy or plush, but the rooms are spacious (ours had 2 double beds but we did not feel squished) and our bathroom had been fully modernized. There are entrance steps and no elevator (our room was on the 3rd floor). There is a little fridge on the main floor that guests are welcome to use. Ithaca can be a somewhat pricy destination. This property was reasonably priced for the area and included an adequate breakfast (coffee juices, pastries, cereals, a hot dish each morning).
